4:00 am
this is cairo right now where protesters outside the u.s. embassy are refusing to be silenced curious at an american made film that ridiculed the prophet muhammad. the intense on going against the bill and spreading across the region with thank you us missions on at the time while he slides to the song that we've been sitting i've been gone suspended. russia condemns the killing of the you are some boss of the two levy is saying governments around the world should be in the least in the fight against really just inside.
4:01 am
russia and iran the world this is all she was media national profile of us thanks for joining us professors in egypt gather outside the u.s. embassy in cairo for a third day sporadic clashes with police continued to flare up stones were told by both sides antagonists fired to contain the crowds angry over an american made film that mocks islam and the prophet muhammad a local journalist about true reports now from the egyptian capital. we're still basically saying quite violent street fights between the protesters and the police which have been ongoing all nights we've seen protests throwing molotov and rocks and the security forces responding with quite heavy amounts to take out the minute i arrived at probably about six o'clock this morning the sounds of building security barricades have gnawed concrete blocks on the a street leading to the embassy behind me and once this is happening the police push the protesters who i am to which is quite close to the embassy and have been
4:02 am
since keeping them at bay so right now i don't think anything is going to finish anytime seen the protests organized today was by the mizzen brotherhood which is of course the organization that the president of egypt hails from they call for peaceful control to pronounce protests off the friday prize usually with the muslim brotherhood they do actually deliver they have these quite controlled protests some criticize them for being too controlled usually finished at nightfall so i imagine what will happen here is as has happened before because the security barricades have been built many times before in downtown cairo once a barricade is erected i imagine the police who would draw this peaceful protest organized by the mission brotherhood will take place and. what may happen which has happened in the past is when the muslim brotherhood leave the scratch and when the process finishes the be the peaceful protesters as the day is struggling with people who have other grievances like i am saying against the police or the government may well stay we may say continued clashes with the security forces and
4:03 am
the cheese the protests were organized by i'm in is the islamic groups and they were peaceful but they did breach oversee the u.s. mission in order to take down the flag what we've been seeing since since yesterday morning has been a younger crowd who are expressing separate grievances as well as condemning the anti islam film they've been saying that they are they are unhappy with police tactics with the government so i'm not sure how these protests is moving apiece these difficult identify exactly who they are how big. because the u.s. government supported joys of the film has been done to a certain extent because the the u.s. government has to be very careful about cracking down on freedom of expression otherwise i'm not really sure how these countries can be still. american who also sponsored by the film has swept across the world the process that started in the bay and egypt have struck in almost a dozen countries now including ghana in iran iraq and tunisia and that's why the
4:04 am
needy of the ongoing turmoil has led to all and traffic to been gone as a being suspended for security reasons all he's correspondent in the region loosely consonance brings us the details of what seems like every hour we're hearing more updates about potential protests spreading across the region this is of course turmoil in the arab world over the fence a video denigrating the prophet mohammad we've actually seen the protests spread to right here in lebanon there are a lot calmer than what we've seen in other parts of the middle east there were protesters both in the city of tripoli where a lot of the syrian fighting was actually spilled over into it as well as in the southern city of saddam and we've also seen protests reported in israel where protesters reportedly burned an american flag there as well as pakistan where there were a lot calmer than some of the other protests but local officials there had called on the expulsion of the u.s. ambassador there although of course given the large number of aid that that country gets i doubt that we would see that actually happening i was also seeing protests
4:05 am
spread to morocco sudan and tunisia now of course the both violent example that we've seen to date has really been after of course the tragic killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya has been yemen where thursday hundreds of protesters stormed the compound they were able to breach the heavily fortified outer perimeter setting fire to a building and several cars there there's been conflicting reports about numbers of injured and killed although the latest we're hearing is four people were killed in that protests but for. moment really all eyes are really on what happens in the arab world after friday prayers lot of times we tend to see sort of fanning the flames of crisis situations like this and really the place to watch is going to be lebanon right here in lebanon where the pope is making his first visit to the country since the beginning of the arab spring. country of course has a very painful sectarian christian muslim sunni shia divide past and of course of
4:06 am
ghana stand where killings have been reported in the past associated with the burnings of the koran by u.s. . people associated with the u.s. troops we really have to keep an eye on what's going to happen there after friday prayers with in libya there's been reported a number of arrests of people who are six suspected to have been involved in in those attacks we are also now hearing from the u.s. the that this wasn't a. spontaneous protest in reaction to the film that this may have been planned coordinated attack scheduled to take place on the anniversary of the eleventh anniversary of nine eleven investigations are still continuing with that situation and we also know that the u.s. is sending a small group of marines over to that country as well as additional war destroyers to the area just in case just to see what happens there but again as a result of these clashes in the ongoing clashes in cairo we've seen a very very heavy security presence around the embassies in this region in fact we
4:07 am
even drove past the u.s. embassy here in beirut and a lot more security presence than normally seen here. and now will be on day to american demonstrations across the middle east. today today he will not see plus you can always get the. tweets. yeah but if you learn then sell to listen to justin who is behind the controversial and islam film that has caused such widespread outrage. and also later listen to how the fellow subsequent on to american prayer says have damaged washington's there's a long efforts to build friendly relations with the muslim world. and staying with the rest within islamic nations journalist and broadcaster neil clark says the glass is paying the price for its intervention in the middle east and north africa remember the old saying you reap what you sow and the us are
4:08 am
reaping what it sold that sent back to two thousand and eleven the u.s. took nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt and destruction and they've created this sort of violent situation so what of course we condemn the terrible attacks on the u.s. consulate the murder of christine romans and of course the people responsible are those who carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this would have happened had nato not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya and egypt has been across the region and the u.s. it is the car that's been stoking all this up the u.s. has been aggressively supporting. uprisings of course across the region for its own interests and now it's a kind of blowback time the u.s. is getting it back and you know i think you know interference is the best way to go really well are they going to do regime change again i mean we had this last year i mean gadhafi what was he dictated it was a stable country the u.s. and nato decided to delete it he said if we look across the globe everywhere when they to intervene has been a disaster look at iraq one million people killed there yugoslavia in kosovo we
4:09 am
have the ethnic cleansing of surgeon roma somalia chaos that there are going to start eleven years of war and yet we still get the same or people calling for intervention across the globe when we learn that it just leads to more death and destruction. and of course and go nor opinion on the developments in the egypt and another arab nations online for you home and you can also find the latest post of a day coming in as a timeline of how the situation is developing. and also i know you tube channel with. the rest of the region along with.
4:10 am
the u.s. state department had denied any involvement with the film but the statement fails to diffuse the anger on the culture of isis surrounding its production as did london just a geisha. reports. the anger over this film has been growing like a snowball so has the confusion over who made it at the beginning our colleagues at the a.p. news agency reached to the person who posted the video on you tube someone named sambo's silly by phone he confirmed that he had made the film identified himself as an israeli american the israeli foreign minister said there was no such israeli citizen and who ever had shot the film was and i quote an unspeakable act then our colleagues tracked down december so his cell number which brought them to the home of someone named nakoula mr nakoula told them that he had produced the film and
4:11 am
that he was a christian copland but whatever made the film its trailer went viral after an egyptian american coptic activist from washington d.c. sent an e-mail to journalists around the world promoting this of kember eleven event and included a link to this fourteen minute clip in egypt journalists translated some of the footage into arabic and brought tested and then it all started when muslims in that part of the world believed that if the film was produced in the u.s. the u.s. government is responsible and part of the obama administration's damage control work has been to make it clear that they too find the film despicable in hillary clinton's own words this gusting and reprehensible she also said this let me state very clearly and i hope it is obvious that the united states government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. we absolutely reject its content and mass. but the words apparently did not make it to the right
4:12 am
ears and the rage went on in egypt in libya in tunisia and in yemen people stormed the u.s. embassy is despicable violence became the price the leaders of those countries of paid for letting the mob vent out this initially but the u.s. appears to be in a difficult position now they can't really less out of those leaders or the people there because washington cheered so greatly for the changes that swept the region of the current levy and government essentially ols its power to the united states also there are still questions as to whether it was just the angry mob which attacked the u.s. consulate in libya or whether an organized terrorist group jumped on the bandwagon of this film hysteria and perpetrated the vicious attack the chaos the influx of arms into libya during the war against gadhafi created perfect environment for extremists of all kinds so there's still a web of questions around what happened on nine eleven this year. the notorious
4:13 am
film is threatening not just you as diplomatic missions in the our world but american interests in the region in general washington has sent a great deal of time and billions of dollars to befriend some muslim countries but all those efforts and proving to have been in vain. explain. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the arab world this isn't exactly the type of relationship washington envisioned after barack obama became president i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world the new u.s. leader promised to turn the page and mend relations tarnished by george w. bush's war on terror he even granted his first foreign television interview to al arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate that the americans are not readily washington invested huge resources in building
4:14 am
a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a youtube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the u.s. government as americans were being held hostage by a small group of extremists people here in america think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i think people in. some of these places don't understand this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim
4:15 am
sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development doesn't call for progress and calls for them moving in as us because that foods american interests and some western interests and cause for war and the invasion of iraq as we have seen destruct. on the stone no progress on the peace lebanon palestine i think the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan due to bush shutdown but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling a right across the entire arab world it's their worst in pakistan where polls show that we're ninety percent of pakistanis marrons their primary an enemy
4:16 am
america has never lot of bloggers and it's made a lot of enemies in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe has blurred despite all the time and money washington has spent using the internet to promote its islam friendly foreign policy the world wide web has also served as a platform that enabled one american extremist to infuriate millions overseas and to rail years of progress very important r.t. new york will be keeping yob date on the developments in the islamic world head by violent on to american protests hey oh no and.
